Thump, thump!

All the demons near Blackwind Cave started to move, causing the ground to tremble.

“As expected, it’s a human.”

Zhao Huai looked at the human cultivator who leaped up and couldn’t help but click his tongue.

It turned out that he didn’t expose himself but found a fellow practitioner instead.

It must be someone from the sect; it seems that the Immortal Yearning Sect has already intervened.

His efforts to find Lu Wanqiu a few days ago did have an effect, the Immortal Yearning Sect has finally turned their attention to Blackwind Cave.

At this moment, a gust of demonic wind roared, sweeping towards the human cultivator in the sky.

Two auras confronted each other in mid-air, stirring up a raging wind that sent sand and rocks flying. The scene was chaotic; the small demons stood on the ground with their weapons but couldn’t provide any help.

Zhao Huai stood at the periphery of the group of demons with narrowed eyes, feeling the aftermath of the battle.

A cultivator in the Initiation Stage.

Who, if not a significant figure, could infiltrate Blackwind Cave?

The black smoke produced by Blackwind Granny’s demonic qi was indeed extraordinary, her strength even higher than Hong Yuan, reaching the peak of the Transformation Stage.

Once the human cultivator removed his disguise as a demon, he appeared strong and fierce, with robust arms and a broad chest. His True Vigor and vigorous qi held their ground against Blackwind Granny’s demonic power, indicating that their powers were closely matched.

Ultimately, the strength of the Initiation Realm depends on the quality of one’s True Vigor. The higher the quality, the more powerful the attacks.

The fierce-looking man before them belonged to this category; the True Vigor turned into qi and directly deviated the demonic wind, looking incredibly mighty and displaying the beauty of power.

Blackwind Granny transformed into a black whirlwind and slowly retreated, her face turning ugly as she questioned, “Who are you!”

“I am your fucking grandpa!!”

This ferocious man didn’t bother responding to Blackwind Granny. He roared instead, and a pair of black-yellow light balls surrounded his wrists, emitting pure energy.

“Magical weapon?”

Blackvvind Granny couldn’t help but frown as she stared at the gauntlets in the man’s hand.

As soon as he saw the magical weapon, Zhao Huai quickly realized that the man was more than just an ordinary disciple. Like Lu Wanqiu, he had connections within the sect.

Ordinary inner sect disciples didn’t possess a magical weapon for protection.

Now, the fierce man held the Xuanhuang Treasure Gauntlets in his hands, and their power increased tremendously. With every punch, True Vigor exploded, sending demons flying. He stepped on their corpses and flew towards the outside of the mountain.

It was evident that he wanted to leave this place.

Zhao Huai looked at the wailing and screaming little demons and couldn’t help feeling a strong urge to join the fight. However, he knew he could not. At present, the situation was not as clear-cut as he imagined. The Demon King had yet to make a move, and everything was uncertain. He couldn’t expose himself just yet. Otherwise, he would have jumped out and joined the man, slaughtering the demons one by one. What a joyous experience that would be! “Audacious human, daring to run rampant in my territory!”

An earsplitting, resonant sound echoed throughout Blackwind Cave as a terrifying pressure erupted, causing the weaker little demons nearby to tremble. A strong fear surged within their hearts.

It was the aura of the Demon King!

The mountain range where Blackwind Cave was located saw rolling boulders tumbling down, as if something terrible was emerging.

“Demon King?”

The fierce man’s expression turned grave immediately, and the surrounding woods stirred. Numerous raging demonic winds blocked his way.

Boom!

He clashed his fists together, then threw a punch at the thick wall of demonic qi, but it remained unscathed.

The next moment, a large number of giant spiders crawled out from the gaps between the trees in the forest. Blackwind Granny’s figure appeared first at the tip of a bamboo forest, standing on top of it.

Several gusts of demonic wind followed, and the women, dressed in various colors, stood one after another on the swaying branches. There were six women in total, all of whom were fully transformed spider demons.

A pair of gauntlets floated in the air, emitting a thick True Vigor that made the six spider demons quite wary.

The fierce man’s eyes glared like those of a wrathful Vajra deity as he stared at the demons below, shouting, “You think you can stop me with just the lot of you? The army of Immortal Yearning Sect Cultivators will be arriving soon and your Blackwind Cave won’t last much longer!”

Hiss—

A rapidly moving white light shot out from the cave, rushing towards the fierce man. When it got close, it turned out to be an extremely thick spider silk.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the fierce man threw his gauntlet, which transformed into a ray of light, aiming straight at the spider silk.

The Xuanhuang Treasure Gauntlets only held up for a few moments before dimming. The spider silk shot directly at him without any hindrance.

The fierce man’s face turned solemn, and he took out a jade token with a “Immortal” character from his bosom.

A sudden burst of golden light protected him, shrouding his entire body.

“Ding!”

The spider silk hit the golden shield and emitted a crisp sound, followed by a streak of blazing red flame that traveled along the silk, burning it back.

“Damn it!”

A furious roar came from deep within Blackwind Cave once again. The entire cave started to crumble as debris fell from the ceiling like it was going to collapse.

Why was the Demon King hiding inside the cave? Was there some secret to it?

This made Zhao Huai, who was watching the battle from below, somewhat puzzled.

He had a feeling that there must be a reason the Spider Demon King refused to show himself.

Perhaps the Demon King’s weakness was hidden inside the cave.

“Hiss!

As the sound rang out, a massive spider leg extended from the cave, piercing the ground. Visibly dark and turbulent demonic qi surrounded the spider leg.Clearly, the Demon King couldn’t hold back anymore and personally made a move, even exposing his true form.

Seeing this, Zhao Huai’s eyes brightened.

He knew that his opportunity had arrived. At this time, the Demon King must have been disengaged, and the commotion just now indicated that he was in a state of movement, which meant that his lair was unguarded.

It was time for him to raid the lair.

“Die!” This powerful human cultivator withstood several blows from the Demon King with an inexplicable golden power and even used it to launch a counterattack, engaging in an evenly-matched battle.

However, when the strong fought, the weak fell victim.

Many little demons around them were very unlucky, instantly dying if they were caught in the crossfire.

Zhao Huai glanced at the panicked demons, concealed his figure and aura, and silently left.

He bypassed the front and came to the cave behind the rear mountain. Blackwind Cave had many entrances and exits, and the paths inside were crisscrossed like an ant colony.

Zhao Huai found a hidden entrance; his days of lurking had allowed him to roughly grasp the layout of Blackwind Cave.

The deeper the cave, the higher the status. The Demon King’s cave should be the deepest.

At this time, because Blackwind Granny had called out all the little demons, there was no one guarding the caves, leaving only dim spiritual light for illumination.

Probably no demon was as bold as Zhao Huai.

Daring to directly invade the Demon King’s territory.

After an unknown amount of time, the area ahead grew increasingly larger.

He arrived at a spacious underground space.

It sounded gloomy, and just by standing at the entrance, he could smell a strong bloody stench and the foul odor of rotting corpses.

He walked into the cave, and on both sides were piles of skulls, stacked like mountains, with bones scattered all over the ground, forming a white path. Human skins had turned into mud, and some human intestines were even wrapped around the sharp rocks.

Even Zhao Huai, as calm as he was, almost vomited when he saw this disgusting scene.

But in front of him, there was indeed a pool of blood, quietly flowing.

It was just obscured by a curtain of blood mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

“Is this the Demon King’s secret?”

Just as Zhao Huai was about to approach, a playful voice sounded in his ear. “Boar Zhu Ganglie, I knew you always had big plans.”

Zhao Huai looked back and saw that it was actually Hong Yuan, the chief steward!

She was looking at him with a playful smile on her face.

Zhao Huai expressionlessly said, “What do you mean by that, steward?” Hong Yuan laughed lightly, “You’re so calm. I offered myself to you three times, but you turned me away each time. A chaste pig demon is truly rare.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai’s eyes grew cold, and he remained silent. He subtly touched the black ring hidden in his pocket.

“Did you really think a powerful demon like you would be content living under others? Indeed, you’ve been plotting against the Demon King’s possessions since the beginning.”

“You’ll die like this, you know. You don’t want the Demon King to find out, do you?”

Hong Yuan said with a seductive smile.

‘What do you want?”

Zhao Huai cooperatively showed a heavy expression.

“I think you have potential. Why not seize this inheritance and run away with me?”

Zhao Huai pretended to ponder and put on an act of struggle before unwillingly sighing, “Fine.”

“That’s more like it.”

Hong Yuan seemed very happy, her lips involuntarily curling up.

Her fingers hidden behind her back quietly gripped, her sharp nails extremely sharp.

“Oh no, it’s the Demon King!”

Suddenly, in an instant, Zhao Huai’s pupils contracted, looking at the position of the cave entrance and shouting in a shocked tone.

Hong Yuan was immediately startled and instinctively turned her head.

“Puff!”

In an instant, the sound of an icy sword piercing through her chest rang out.

Hong Yuan’s mouth oozed green demonic blood, looking at the spiritual sword in disbelief. Her beautiful eyes widened as she whispered:

“You are…human…”

Before the words were finished, her body fell straight down, and the last reflection in her eyes was that of a handsome man.

“Hmph, did you think you could play me?”

Zhao Huai let out a sigh of relief, smiled faintly, and then casually delivered another strike, beheading Hong Yuan with a single slash.

This sword, carrying sword qi, shattered Hong Yuan’s remaining life force within her body, making her irreversibly dead.

Boom!

Zhao Huai swiftly steadied himself, feeling puzzled in his heart.
